This weed keeps popping up in my asparagus bed. What is it and how can I control it? I carefully apply a herbicide when it emerges. Still it keeps coming there, but rarely anyplace else.

Expert Response

We cannot accurately identify the weed in your photo.  Some possibilities of weeds that include a taproot include Common burdock and  pokeweed.  If you have planted swiss chard in the past that may be a possibility. You may want to let the foliage grow and send us photos later in the season. Include photos of flowers, fruit, or berries.
